TNA Slammiversary is set to take place this Sunday at UBS Arena on Long Island, and the promotion is working hard to boost ticket sales in these final days. On Tuesday, TNA President Carlos Silva hinted at something exciting for fans by promising the event would have a “sparkly” surprise. According to Fightful Select’s interview with Sean Ross Sapp, Silva not only continued to tease the involvement of AJ Styles but also intensified his hints, strongly suggesting that Styles could be part of the show. While TNA insiders did not confirm Styles’ presence outright, at least one source within the company believed he would indeed appear.
AJ Styles, known for his decade-long WWE career as a multiple-time world and US champion, originally rose to prominence in TNA, becoming one of the company’s biggest stars. His last appearance with TNA was in December 2013 in a World Championship Unification match against Nick Aldis. Although he re-signed with TNA briefly, he eventually joined WWE in early 2015. As of now, Styles, who is currently defending the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Dominik Mysterio, has not commented on any possible Slammiversary appearance.
Fan Take: This buzz around AJ Styles potentially showing up at Slammiversary is huge for WWE fans because it bridges his storied past in TNA with his current WWE stature, sparking excitement about cross-promotion or surprise appearances. If true, it could also signal a new era where wrestling promotions collaborate more, adding fresh intrigue and excitement to the sport.
